PONGAL
Pongal is a four-day harvest festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu, a southern state of India. It is typically celebrated in the month of January, and it is one of the most important festivals for the Tamil people. The name "Pongal" means "boiling over" or "overflowing," and it is celebrated to mark the start of the northeastern monsoon and the harvest of crops such as rice and sugarcane. The festival is marked by prayers to the sun, the moon, and the Lord of Prosperity, as well as to cows and bulls, which are seen as symbols of wealth and ploughing. The festival is also marked by traditional Pongal sweet dishes, dance, and music.
